In Antarctica, silence is a presence. It moves through collapsing ice, suspended time, and vast spaces untouched by human rhythm. This series gathers moments that feel distant yet deeply familiar, shaped by fragility, solitude, and the slow erosion of certainty. Each photograph is a quiet record of stillness, a gesture of witnessing rather than claiming. These images offer no answers. They invite us to pause, to look longer, and to sense what remains when the world is stripped of noise.
